Grouping The Related (Scifi) Skin Lines

So to preface this I am a ridiculous scifi nerd, and love pretty much all such things (except comics; never got on with those). With the reveal of the Odyssey Skin Line (Kayn FINALLY GET'S A SKIN AND IT'S ALL I COULD ASK FOR), there are some lines from Rhaast (portraits for Kayn forms please) that reveal him as a Dark Star creation; therefore all Odyssey skins and Event Horizon (Dark Star and Cosmic) skins are from the same Universe. Now at least one other skin has a special line for the Dark Stars, and it's Gun Goddess MissFortune, which would put the Steel Valkyries Line into the same Universe as well. It would be awesome to see which other Skin Lines tie into this Universe, or link together to form others. Are the Star Guardians also in this reality? Are the Mecha and PROJECT Lines connected in some way, maybe linked by Program (thanks to Vayne we know the PROJECT and Program certainly are)? I can't think of any non-scifi Lines that might be linked that aren't already (e.g. Beastslayer and Prehistoric), but I'm sure there are some. (especially because this might lead to further stories...)

Yasuo is also in PROJECT and Jinx is in Star Guardian, so I don't think those universes could coincide with Odyssey/Gungoddess/DarkStar.

Super Galaxy could be related, as well as Alien Invader Donger and UFO Corki.

I would not be surprised at all if Odyssey is in the same universe as Steel Valkyries. Both of them have a very similar tone, which seems to take influence from Marvel-style space opera. Gun Goddess Miss Fortune is even compared to Iron Man and Jarvis, especially EXO. The Odyssey crew would then, of course, be representing Guardians of the Galaxy, given that they're also a bit more humorous than the rest of Steel Valkyrie skins.

The Odyssey crew could also possibly be part of the Super Galaxy universe instead, but I doubt it. Aside from a humorous tone, the two don't have much in common.

Try SAGA by Brian K Vaughan. Stand alone, excellently writen (as always with him) and isn't a 'super hero' cliche.

On subject, I can agree with you that Dark Star, Cosmic, GGMF and Odessey are all the same. Star Guardian is kind on it's own but that's fine due to the amount of cast they could add but it does need a villain if Dark Star isn't it. Void related maybe?

Program is the counterpart to the Project skinline(with Ashe & Lissandra as the leaders of the skinlines)

Battlecast(including Creator Viktor ) is the counterpart to the Resistance skinline.

Mecha is the counterpart to the kaiju skinline,but the kaiju-line currently only consists of Crabgot.

However just because a skin has special lines for another skinline doesn't mean they are part of the same universe. Classic Trundle has a voice line for traditional Trundle,but that doesn't mean that traditional Trundle is part of the canon-universe or Program Camille has a line for Mecha Zero Sion,even though it was confirmed that the 2 skinlines are unrelated.
